Growth Coach · Former Mortgage Underwriter
Dana believes real estate needs more agents who understand the business, build real relationships, and have a plan beyond waiting for the phone to ring. As a coach and former mortgage underwriter, she helps agents build careers with intention — not chase random tactics.
Thirteen years underwriting mortgages. Now coaching agents to build real businesses — not real estate hobbies.
Based in Columbia, South Carolina, Dana Desch is a real estate coach on a mission to help agents stop guessing, stop chasing tactics, and start building businesses with intention. She became a real estate agent in 2020 after spending 13 years as a mortgage loan underwriter — an inside look at contracts, financing, risk, problem-solving, and the small details that can make or break a transaction.
Her coaching style is built around practical strategies, organization, accountability, and helping agents develop the confidence to become the trusted expert clients actually need. Dana believes success in real estate isn't about having the loudest voice in the room — it's about having the knowledge, systems, and discipline to consistently show up and deliver. Her mission is simple: help agents build a real business, not just a real estate hobby. Because anyone can get a license — the difference is becoming the kind of agent people trust, remember, and refer.
Areas of Expertise
A planner and organizer who enjoys turning chaos into strategy — yes, she's the person who actually enjoys making lists. Off the clock, you'll find Dana working in the yard, spending time with her two adult sons, or hanging out with her dog, who (depending on the day) is either her assistant or her biggest distraction.
